Great pictures Eric,
From listening to the the volunters at Trenton, It sounds like their hope is to have a fully functionally aircraft. The flight controls, lights etc will function just as it would have when build. At least one engine is capable of turning over on the starter at slow speed but due to the amount of time the engines spend under water they are not comfortable with putting additional stress on them by trying to rebuilt them to runnable condition. It would be pretty amazing if they could have one engine capable of running, the sound of a sleeved valved Bristol Hercules would be amazing and I am guessing the cost would be pretty amazing also.
Still it will be a fantastic example of a Halifax once complete. Can't wait to see it again soon.
